I think we'll postpone Hateful Eight until later in the month. Other than Slarity I haven't had anyone say they can make it. So I'll put out some alternative dates in the thread and we'll get it scheduled.

Dave I'll PM you on SW to get more info. Still interested in the encore!

We are definitely interested but this weekend just sort of imploded for stuff we got roped into.

No worries at all. We scheduled it pretty far out and it kinda snuck up on me too. We'll get it scheduled with everyone soon. I haven't seen it, so I'm excited to watch it. Haven't seen Django either as far as that goes. Need to find time for that one too.

Hey guys. Update on my theater....hope to be done by end of June!! Here are my most current pictures (taken last night):

Hopefully one (or more) of you audio/video guru's can help me get everything dialed in once the room is done. When it comes to audio/video calibration, it's way over my head and I hope one of you can teach me some things to make it sound amazing! Hopefully I can get some help....I can supply pizza, beer and hopefully an awesome sounding and looking movie!

The new Star Wars bluray isn't out until the 5th I thought? I stopped by Family Video and there it is on the shelves all ready to be watched! Not sure if it's just my store in Indianola but I was surprised it was out early.

@joshp14
greating looking room. I am sure with the pizza and beer offering you won't have any trouble getting help calibrating your room to some standard I know
@desertdome
does an excellent job from the reviews I've heard, but that level of awesomeness cost a bit more than beer and za.

@Draden1
, that is surprising to read. I understood the HD download of Force Awakens was available yesterday, but no hard media for rental or purchase until this coming Friday.

Looking great Josh! I'd be willing to help out with a rough calibration until you get DesertDome in there for the real deal.

What is being used for calibration, if you don't mind me asking? I just hooked up a mini DSP and AM2DC with my Marantz for now. I am going to hook up a UMIK soon and start learning/working REW. I am always looking for ways to optimize audio.
Thanks,
Russ

Mainly just eyeballs and ears for a rough pass. Probably run any room correction the audio processor may have. Might take a look and see what is free for REC 709 calibration and throw that on a laptop. He'll definitely want someone like DD to get it right. Just offering up some time to look at it and correct anything glaring. Nothing fancy for sure.

Thanks for getting back. REC 709 calibration, will have to investigate.

Thanks fellas! Joel, I might just take you up on that until I can get Desertdome out there.

There still are video rental stores? All of our Iowa City stores went away and red box is your only physical rental option. Is the new Star Wars worth the coin to buy? I don't do theaters, except home ones of course, so I haven't seen it. Starved for a great HT sound track, haven't heard anything good/new since Edge of Tomorrow!

I thought there was a Family Video at Riverside & Hwy 6 (next to Fin & Feather)? There's also one in North Liberty.

@Elihawk
I haven't seen the home version of Star Wars The Force Awakens yet, but the theater version was worth breaking my 10 years drought of not visiting a commercial theater. I plan on watching my copy of The Force Awakens this weekend.

I had to search the internet for a long time to find the original version of Episode VII, the one without George Lucus's CGI edits and where Han shoots first and kills Kylo. Ordered from China, but the vintage storyline and video will be worth the hassle. time to dust off the VCR

Have room for 2 more or are you already full? Considering bringing my son if you're allowing kids at tonight's showing?

Hey Josh - tonight is a full house and then some. I'll have another showing of Star Wars since
@jeahrens
and
@ZLTFUL
want to make it over. It won't be next weekend but hopefully the weekend after. I'll post details later...let me know if you're interested.
